TeXd Description

TeXd runs TeX as a daemon, and provides a callable function interface TeXd runs TeX as a daemon, and provides a callable function interface. This allows TeX to be used as the typesetting engine for interactive applications. TeX takes a little while to load, but will then typeset pages very quickly. Interactive applications typically typeset lots of small items. By running TeX in daemon mode, its start-up time can be removed from the loop.The TeX daemon works with existing TeX distributions, and on small files it is seven times quicker than batch mode. If your version of TeX features an enabled ipc (interprocess communication), the TeX daemon will be about 50 times quicker than batch mode.
